App-based digital certification provider, Certific, said the new initiative brings a "number of benefits" to travellers, including a "tightly regulated, cost-effective, private and more reliable" testing certificate ahead of a holiday.
Once a user has obtained a qualifying lateral flow home test kit from a UK approved manufacturer, they download the Certific app and upload a photo along with personal details to verifying their identity.
Then, following a step-by-step guide, users take the test while the app records them. The video of the test, along with the result, is verified by Certific’s medically supervised test control officers.
